The Cornish Coast is of course very beautiful and Helford is truly lovely - and best appreciated from the water. The next day we moved along the coast to another great place, the fishing village of Mevagissey.

Around Lands End
After four days gale-bound in Milford Haven, when we did a bit of walking, a lot of eating and also visited the wonderful Pembroke Castle, we finally set off across the Bristol Channel. At over 100 miles from Wales to Cornwall this is a surprisingly long way, and in fact we rounded Land's End and then headed up the south coast to the Helford River, distance of 150 miles. This took 26 hours so was a bit tiring. The journey was remarkable for the company of several flocks of dolphins who took turns to play in our bow wave. Later we saw them hunting fish while gannets dive bombed the shoal from above. Really quite spectacular and we were also blessed by some of the sunniest weather we have seen on the entire trip.

Well done, Bryan and crew (not sure who's with you now ...). The dolphins sound wonderful! Time to enjoy some Cornish food and drink ;-) Not sure what your timetable is now, but when you get past R Yealm, if you can get in to Thurlestone Sand GR 675417 I can recommend the Beach House restaurant at South Milton.
